Chapter 286 The benefactor of Jinghangzhai

After settled down in the new home, both Liu's mother and Ye Xier expressed their sincere gratitude to Lin Yan.

They knew that if Lin Yan had not helped him generously, they would have been on the streets as Zhang Dakuang said.

Ye Xier's gratitude to Lin Yan is even greater.

Because since she encountered the "Three Ghosts of Laoshan" on the Snowy Plateau, her life has undergone earth-shaking changes from hell to heaven, and every change is related to Lin Yan, and even directly happened with Lin Yan's help.

Without Lin Yan, she knew that she and her mother-in-law would not have a stable and comfortable life at the moment.

Lin Yan naturally refused to give up on the sincere gratitude to the two, carelessly and did not take it to heart.

On the contrary, Ye Xier accidentally thought of what her mother-in-law said to her before going out. Her pretty face turned red. She glanced at Lin Yan's handsome face and couldn't help but lower her head.

But this scene still did not escape Liu's mother's eyes.

Liu's mother saw it, sweet in her heart, and sighed in her heart that she finally let her daughter-in-law meet a reliable man.

Liu's mother really hopes that Ye Xier can have a good home. After all, Ye Xier is only twenty-nine years old, and she is beautiful, just like a 22 or 23-year-old girl. In Liu's mother's heart, she naturally thinks that Ye Xier is worthy of Lin Yan.

Lin Yan had not noticed this subtle relationship yet, but in fact, since he spontaneously wanted to protect Ye Xier, he had already developed a good impression of Ye Xier.

Lin Yan didn't think about the reason for this feeling, but for some reason, Lin Yan was just willing to protect Ye Xier, just like protecting plum snowfall and family.

However, Lin Yan really doesn't have time to think about this kind of thing now. Ye Xier and Liu's mother can cheer for a new home, but he can't.

Because things are not clear yet, the person standing behind Zhang Dakuang should continue to deal with Ye Xier.

After thinking about it, Lin Yan felt that others would not know about this place, and at least it would be safe to stay here, so he decided to sneak into Zhang Dakuang's home tonight without showing up, but hoped to observe how Zhang Dakuang and that person were in contact. If he could catch that person, it would be better.

After making up his mind, Lin Yan looked at the time and found that there was plenty of time to go to Jinghangzhai in the afternoon.

This time, Lin Yan did not ask Liu's mother to go with her. After all, it was very safe here. No one knew that Ye Xier had just bought this place as a new home.

Leading Ye Xier, the two of them went up the mountain.

After Ye Xier was twelve years old, she was adopted by a master of Jinghangzhai. She married at the age of 22 and stayed in Jinghangzhai, so she was very familiar with the route.

Jinghangzhai is similar to other nunnies, but it is a little larger in size. There is a Buddhist temple in front, the side is the place where Taoist nuns live, and the end is the Sutra Pavilion. The overall layout is similar to other temples and nunnies.

Lin Yan naturally had no intention of finding out the truth, but just hoped to find the master of Jinghangzhai as soon as possible, and then return the "Jinghangzhai Collection of Sutras".

Fortunately, Ye Xier was there, and a Taoist nun saw a strange man breaking in, so she did not stop him from the front.

Ye Xier soon asked a familiar Taoist nun to invite Master Jingci from Jinghangzhai, while she and Lin Yan were waiting in a side hall.

Master Jingci is currently the archer of Jinghangzhai, in charge of all affairs in the stairs.

Although Ye Xier was not sure how important the things Lin Yan wanted to return were to Jinghangzhai, she also knew that Lin Yan would definitely deliver the things to the person in charge, so she was relieved.

About five minutes later, a master in a whisk in his hand, wearing a gray-white Taoist robe and a gray-white cloth round hat walked in through the front door.

The master looked seventy years old. The hair on the outside of the round hat was silver-white, and the face was full of wrinkles, but his eyes were very bright, so he looked very energetic.

Lin Yan only took a look and felt that this kind-hearted master, compared to other Taoist nuns with fairy style, seemed to have deliberately covered up the breath of the world, so it seemed to be more real.

"Ye Xier has met Master Jingci."

Ye Xier's words undoubtedly mean that this master is the lord of Jinghangzhai.

Lin Yan stood up from the seat, clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Lin Yan, I have met Master Jingci."

Master Jingci smiled and greeted him. After sitting down, he put the whisk on the table, and his eyes naturally looked at Lin Yan.

When Ye Xier told Master Jingci through Taoist nuns before, she did not explain the purpose of the visit in detail, but when Master Jingci saw a strange man coming, she naturally understood that the matter had something to do with this man.

At this time, a Taoist nun brought three cups of fragrant tea and left gently.

In the side hall, only the three of them were left.

Ye Xier was nervous for no reason.

When I saw Master Jingci looking at Lin Yan, the tension became even heavier.

Because Ye Xier knew that Master Jingci was kind to others, but he always paid attention to the rules of the temple. He was a Master who was strict with himself and strictly required other people.

And now, she brought a stranger, especially a strange man, to Jinghangzhai. If it weren't for Master Jingci's belief in her, she wouldn't have let Lin Yan enter the side hall.

But despite this, Master Jingci still looked at Lin Yan with a sharp eye.

Thinking of her living here, she had heard many Taoist nuns who had slightly violated the precepts. Under this gaze, she became frightened. She was inexplicably worried about Lin Yan.

It was not because of Lin Yan's safety, but because of whether Lin Yan would be looked down upon by Master Jingci. After all, she knew that she would bring Lin Yan rashly. Master Jingci would never think that Lin Yan was here to return things, but she was afraid that Lin Yan would come to make a living.

What Master Jingci dislikes the most is the person who uses the relationship between acquaintances to do things.

So, when she thought that Lin Yan would be stared at by Master Jingci, and might even have to bear some harsh words, Ye Xier was nervous and a little anxious because she didn't want to see Lin Yan suffer even a little grievance here!

She didn't know why she had this idea, but that's what she did.

She hurriedly said, "Master Jingci, we are not here to ask you to do things."

Seeing Ye Xier's solemn expression, Master Jingci immediately understood that what Ye Xier said was true, so Master Jingci retracted his gaze that looked at Lin Yan, nodded at Ye Xier with a smile, and then said, "I understand."

Then, Master Jingci looked at Lin Yan again and said, "Sister Lin, I did misunderstand you just now. I thought you came with Donor Ye to ask for something."

Master Jingci really felt a little embarrassed because she originally thought Lin Yan came to her through Ye Xier, so she was a little disgusted from the beginning. After all, this kind of thing she hated the most, but after Ye Xier's explicit statement just now, she realized it.

What surprised her was that when she stared at Lin Yan with her eyes before, Lin Yan could actually look at her calmly, as if nothing had happened. This kind of calmness was even satisfying. Many people, especially young people, could not learn it, so she looked at Lin Yan with admiration.

Moreover, she naturally realized that Lin Yan had the strength of the fourth level of the Yukong Realm, but she was only in her twenties, so she was also very curious about the purpose of this young master coming to Jinghangzhai.

After hearing Master Jingci’s apology, Lin Yan actually felt more fond of this Master.

In a word, Master Jingci interacted with people like him who were not in Buddhism, revealing the feelings of ordinary people. It was not a transcendent image, and did not make him feel rejected, but made him feel intimate.

Secondly, Master Jingci's tone of conversation was calm and did not reveal the arrogance of a foreigner, making him feel that he was talking to a visible and real person.

So, Lin Yan felt more willing to return the things to Jinghangzhai.

Lin Yan said straight to the point: "I came to return a lost thing in your temple."

While saying that, Lin Yan took out a blue box.

Seeing the blue box, Master Jingci's face suddenly changed!

Lin Yan accurately captured Master Jingci's expression and felt more convinced that the things in the box were indeed from Jinghangzhai.

Lin Yan quickly said, "This is what I obtained from a woman who calls herself the Taoist nun in Jinghangzhai on the Snowy Plateau. However, Master, please forgive me for opening the box, so I realized that there is an ancient book inside. I think the ancient book should be from Jinghangzhai, right?"

After saying that, Lin Yan handed the green box to Master Jingci.

Master Jingci opened the box first and found that the ancient book was "Jinghangzhai Collection of Sutras". He couldn't help but smile, and he seemed to relax because he had received some comfort.

Immediately, Master Jingci closed the blue box, placed it gently on the table, then stood up, and actually bowed to Lin Yan!

Ye Xier beside her was stunned.

She has lived in Jinghangzhai for nearly ten years and is very clear that Master Jingci has always been in a state of collapse and has not changed her expression. She has never seen Master Jingci so moved, and she has never seen Master Jingci salute to someone who is not a Buddhist. Even if a Zhenwu ancestor from the Hai family in Tiandicheng came to Jinghangzhai, Master Jingci did not salute him!

And Lin Yan actually enjoyed this kind of treatment!

At the same time, a Taoist nun who happened to send pastries entered the side hall and happened to witness the scene of his master saluting a strange man. She was so surprised that she almost fell to the plate containing pastries to the ground!

"It seems that Master is having something very excited."

"But who is this young donor? Even some big names in Tiandi City visited, they only greeted them with a smile and never saluted to outsiders like today. Is this young man a bigger background than those big names?"

After serving the pastry, the young Taoist nun left the side hall again, muttering softly, and his heart was filled with endless shock.

The young Taoist nun did not see the scene where Master Jingci took the green box before, so she thought Lin Yan was very big. However, as a witness to the whole process, Ye Xier couldn't help but be curious about the green box and wondered why this box is so important to Jinghangzhai?

Lin Yan also had the same doubts.

But facing Master Jingci's great gift, Lin Yanwei didn't expect that he hurriedly returned the gift.

Although Master Jingci sat down later, his face still had a look of deep gratitude for Lin Yan.

"Shaoxia Lin, you are the benefactor of our Jinghangzhai."

The first sentence that Master Jingci said after delivering his ritual immediately surprised Lin Yan.

Ye Xier, who was standing beside her, was so shocked that she almost sprayed out the tea!

She looked at the inconspicuous green box on the table and thought again, what was in the box? After Lin Yan returned it, Master Jingci would actually regard Lin Yan as his benefactor?
